Craig Feist
Men’s Cross Country
Craig Feist ’23 has already made an impact for the Men’s Cross Country team, finishing in the varsity seven in his first two meets. At the Hamilton Short Course Invitational, Feist finished in a time of 16:34.6 and 49th place, helping the Continentals place third overall. At their second meet of the season, the Rochester Invitational, Feist finished in 68th place overall and 6th on the team with a time of 27:50.7. He shows a lot of potential and hopes to be a force for the men’s team over the next four years.
Hyla Mosher
Women’s Soccer
Hyla Mosher ’23 has immediately stepped up as an offensive weapon on the women’s soccer team. Along with leading the team in goals and points, she is currently tied for most goals of any NESCAC player (6) and leads all first years in the league in total points (13). Mosher scored her first goal in the Continentals’ season opener, a 4–2 loss to №1 Williams College. She has scored at least one goal in four of their five following games, with a current career-high of five total points in a 4–1 win over Utica College on Sept. 18. Mosher will undoubtedly be a crucial player for the team as the season progresses.
Tracey Stafford
Field Hockey
Tracey Stafford ’23 has been a key member of the Continentals’ offense this year. She has played in all of the team’s first five games and started in two of them. Stafford already has five points this season and earned her first point with an assist to Maddie Beitler ’21 in the game against Bates College. She scored her first career goal on Sept. 14 against №17 Amherst College. In the next game against №1 Middlebury College, she scored the only goal for the Continentals in their 5–1 defeat. Stafford is currently third on her team in total points (5), behind only Maddie Beitler ’21 (8) and Sarah Pierpoint ’21 (7).
Justin D’Alessandro
Men’s Soccer
Justin D’Alessandro ’23, who plays back, has quickly made an impact on the Continentals’ defense. He has received playing time in each of men’s soccer’s six games this season. This includes three starts against Bates College, Ithaca College, and Amherst College, respectively. He joins Jack Sheehan ’21, Milo Donovan ’21, and Luke Eckels ’20 in their rock solid defensive line. The Continentals strong defense this season has kept them in the game against multiple close opponents this year.
